Website design and development

From identifying your target marketing to segmentation and feedback loops, we continually optimize audience targeting.

At Magnet, our team comprises a diverse array of developers, each specializing in different areas of technology and software development. This variety ensures we can tackle a wide range of projects, from web and mobile applications to complex system integrations and data analytics solutions.

Creating a successful eCommerce website involves a wide array of deep considerations. At Magnet, we understand that the success of an eCommerce site is influenced by a combination of critical factors, each contributing to the overall user satisfaction, engagement, and sales conversion rates.

Custom SEO agencies use a range of tools and technologies, including keyword research tools, analytics platforms, content management systems, backlink analysis tools, and SEO tracking software.

Website security and speed optimization are paramount in our design and development process. We aim to build websites that load in less than 3 seconds, providing a good user experience and helping with SEO. We always include SSL certificates for security, and can implement additional security measures as needed, like .htaccess additions and security plugins.

Our design and development process is iterative and collaborative. Our four phase approach covers strategy, creative, implementation and delivery. Learn more on our approach and process pages.

There are different considerations depending on the type of technology used and what the intended scaling factors are. We generally have three types of host that we pick between:

For custom software and sites with advanced functionality we have used Digital Ocean for dedicated servers for many years and love their combination of reliability, modern server technology and great support when needed (although they're self managed).

For Nocode websites we like the Webflow platform which uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its hosting backbone.

For Jamstack websites we're big fans of Netlify and Vercel.

Absolutely, we believe that you should have the ability to update your own website content. We do believe in constraining layout editing within the confines of a tight agreed upon design system, to be sure that elements and layouts are consistent and no website breakages can occur via the CMS. We typically build websites on user-friendly content management systems that allow you to easily make updates and keep your website fresh with new content, with the safety of being able to roll back changes to earlier versions if needed. We provide training on how to use the CMS post-launch.

We typically favor the popular CMS systems Sanity, Webflow and Laravel Nova.

Yes, Google Analytics is a critical tool for understanding website performance. We not only install and configure Google Analytics but also set up basic event tracking, such as contact form submissions. However, we will require a Google login owned by your organization to install analytics, ensuring that you retain full access and control over your data​.

Absolutely! We understand that content is king. Your website's content plays a vital role in portraying your brand's story, communicating your value proposition, and engaging with your audience.

Our project fees are based on the scope and complexity of the work. We typically provide a detailed proposal outlining the total cost and deliverables. As for payment terms, we generally require an initial deposit to begin work, with the balance due at various milestones or upon completion of the project. This may result in two payments of 50% and 50% or three payments of 50% 25% and 25% or more complex structures for longer projects.

The timeline for designing and launching a website can vary significantly based on the complexity of the site and your specific requirements. On average, a basic website can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks from concept to launch. This includes time for design, development, testing, and revisions. However, larger and more complex projects may take longer.

Our approach is user-centric and data-driven. We begin by understanding your business goals, your audience, and your competition. We then create a design that is not only visually appealing but also enhances user experience and engagement. Our development process is agile, allowing for flexibility and iterative improvement. We focus on creating websites that are responsive, fast, and search engine friendly
